I have stainless button heads, and have ordered some polished/chromed button head fastners too. The stainless button heads i have look dull. Should have it all together by the end of the week. We'll see how she looks.
Dave, i like the rubber u-channel idea for around the panel. I'll see if i can find some locally.
Post pics of your uniball setup Alex. Don't think we've seen them.
